Could use more fiber and lower the sodium though. good color. i will probably add some cayenne pepper next time and to avoid the fat bake or skip the shells altogether and opt for more lettuce.
My family loved these tacos. We didn’t miss the meat at all. My daughter and I are doing WW and loved the fact that we could have two of these tacos w/yellow rice and stay well within our daily points for the day. We will definitely have these again. Also, I only had a 15 oz. can of tomato sauce and used that and they were nice and “saucy”. I’m sure the extra 7 oz. added some calories, but not much.
Ive been trying to introduce meatless meals more often to my husband and this one worked! both he and I really enjoyed the tacos and they are definately worth the effort to prepare. I slightly mashed the beans to create a “beefy-meaty” texture that we were used to. Seemed to work! Enjoy!
Excellent, incredible filling for taco salad, not as good for tacos.
Excellent! My family loved it. I mashed the beans mixure before serving.
This was a great recipe with lots of flavor. I used it for a taco salad to save a few points and the hubby & kids used it in taco shells.We all loved it! Thanks!!
Excellent recipe. I makt it often. Family loves the flavor!!!
Definitely a keeper. Made quite a bit so I had a lot of leftovers, which is always appreciated. The flavor was even better the next day. Goes great in both tortillas or taco shells.
the whole family loved these. & it really did make a lot. We used the leftovers & made mexican omlettes with egg beaters. Was really good!
